01
Overview
Free radical generation leading to DNA damage refers to the process by which highly reactive molecules—free radicals—interact with and modify DNA, resulting in structural changes, mutations, or strand breaks. This process is a key mechanism underlying mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, aging, and various diseases. Free radicals abstract hydrogen atoms or add to double bonds, causing base/sugar modifications and strand breaks. Sources are both endogenous (mitochondrial respiration, inflammation) and exogenous (radiation, toxins). Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals.
